📰 News we're reading

• Caledonia neighbors frustrated by frequent power outages (fox6now.com) — Caledonia residents in one neighborhood are dealing with repeated power outages lasting up to 24 hours, forcing more than 100 homes to throw out spoiled food and worry about winter heat. Neighbors blame untrimmed tree branches on power lines and have pressed WE Energies and the Caledonia Village Board for help. The utility promises extensive tree trimming early next year and is exploring short-term reliability fixes now.
